Progress Update and Side Story Release Date! (Patreon)

Sup madafakas!

Alrighty, so im currently at 57k words thus far in the main story, and i think im at a good enough place to stop working on it and focus on other things.

At the moment, Im doing the house colors and sigils for the RO noble houses for my artist, and after that im going to finish up the Saldwin side story! (it is currently 15k words long!!!)

I decided to say fuck it, and changed alot of stuff for Saldwin. It's uh, hard to make an interactive story for a historically set character, and i didnt wanna branch out stuff when there's a "canon" route, so i sorta said fuck it, ill let the players act as a side character instead! AND WOOOOOW IT FUCKING WORKED LMAOOOOO

I created and messed around with the combat system i was talking about earlier (sometimes it feels weird knowing i actually made that shit work haha!) 

Anyways, im using the side story for saldwin as a way to let myself get comfortable and get some practice in for interactivity and learning ways to implement those lessons in the main story. Thankfully, it's helped immensely! 

In order to not get caught up in the scramble like last time, im giving myself a wide berth of time to test and polish the product, so the side story is gonna be slated to release on June 14th! 

For the main game, im still working out the chinks and struggling with working two versions of the game, the current version and the revised version that some of you got access to (the Adelina hair version). In the newer version, like discussed, teh Goddess memories of the meeting got scattered throughout the childhood arc to avoid the exposition dump from the original beginning, the characters and families that patreons made feature in the story now (the characters) now, and kingdom politics is front and center even as a child since you can convince the noble families that even as a kid you look pretty freaking competent already lmao! Plus with more interactivity and opportunity to be with kids your age while also not bogging down the pace, it has helped immensely. I sorta got a bit too carried away with it and wrote more on there instead of the current main version you guys are used to, sorry lol! Im focusing on the current version for you guys once again! (after the saldwin story of course)

This sounds hella convoluted and confusing cause it is lol, but it'd feel icky to once again start from the beginning without finishing this arc for the people that want the conclusion! Wish me luck my friends, and I wish you luck in the economically or politically shaky days ahead!
